Course guide

Heart defibrillators

Göteborgs Golf Klubb has four heart defibrillators at the facility, available at the following locations:

​-​Clubhouse: Inside the main entrance door, to the right (available Mon-Sun 06:00-21:00).
-Shortgame area: In the WC, locate in the engine hall building. Always accessible.
-Hole 7: By the bench on the way up to hole 7 (available during April 1 – October 31).
-Hole 12: By the machine hall to the right of the 12th fairway (available during April 1 – October 31)

​​If someone suffers a cardiac arrest, it is crucial that the defibrillator can be used as quickly as possible, preferably within a few minutes. The device is portable and is used to restore a normal heart rhythm by delivering an electric shock to the heart. The defibrillator can be used by people without medical training and is easy to use thanks to spoken instructions.

Remember to always call 112 if you suspect someone has suffered a cardiac arrest and call for help if possible.

If you have further questions regarding golf cart use, or are thinking of buying one to use at the club, we ask that you to contact the reception.

Safety on the course

Göteborgs Golf Klubb is a very narrow layout, with many of the holes bordering residential houses. Also, several holes cross. Members and guests all need to play with care and safety in mind.

If someone is playing carelessly, please remind him or her in a nice way. We all have a responibility towards safety, but also a pleasant atmosphere.

Remember to shout ”fore”

Green keepers have right of way

Don’t hit the ball further than you can handle! Dangerous play will be reported. 

If you do hit something outside the course boudaries, please make a report.

Pace of play

The pace of play on the course very much affects players’s enjoyment. To ensure good flow on the course we try to limit the time for one round to four hours.

Players on the highest numbered hole has right of way. Please let faster players play through.

A two-ball will get around faster in the mornings, but later in the day pace will be dictated by slower fourballs.

Children with a handicap over 36 will need to play with a grown up.
